Best 5 Free VPN Services

Internet censorship is commonplace these days in schools, universities and organizations where it is unwanted for people to access certain services (usually social networks like Twitter, Facebook etc., video streaming websites like YouTube, Metacafe, and P2P services) in order to either save bandwidth, or work time. The usual way used by those who want to get around this blocking is to access blocked services and websites through web proxies or proxy servers, which can be slow, insecure and inefficient at times. Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technique which gives all the benefits of accessing blocked content online while having none of the disadvantages suffered by proxies.

VPN uses authorization and encryption to securely connect to external hosts thereby giving you a chance to visit restricted and/or blocked websites easily from a network. Usually VPN service is not free, but we have a list of top 5 free VPN clients which you can use to get around website blocking.
